Re: [pygame] Gui

[Luke Miller <dodgyville@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think it would be great in a future version of pygame if there were
some simple widgets. I definitely like making my own widgets for games
(they look original) but for editors and user applications (like a
video editor), it would be good to have some basic things like button,
list, tab...
